Jouett's Island (also called Thrumcap Island) is located off the southern coast of Indian Island, between the larger Campobello Island and Deer Island in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada.[1][2][3]
Jouett's Island is four acres consisting of soil over conglomerate, with a former mansion belonging to Captain Moses.[4][5]
C.H. Jouett had been reimbursed by the government for his construction of a "Bye Road" on Deer Island, in 1839.[6]
In 1853, Comptroller and Customs Inspector Fitzgerald petitioned the government for reimbursement as he'd been required to move his Customs Office from Jouett's Island to Campobello.[7]
In 1929, author Frances Gillmor published "Thumbcap Weir" which was set on a West Isles Parish, New Brunswick island titled "Deadman's Island" which was connected at low tide to a "Thumbcap" which held a herring weir. The island appears to have been modeled off Jouett's Island and Hospital Island and situated impossibly north of Spectacle Islands but south of White Horse Island.[8]
